Cameron Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 764 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Cameron Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Alexandria, VA, population 764. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Alexandria rate of 28.3%. Disability prevalence reaches 17.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 4.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,348, 12% above the Alexandria average of $2,089. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Alexandria, it ranks #14 by risk, the middle third.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $130,478.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
